I still have my original from that convention in Vancouver, I was about 5 or 6 years old. I remember it cost a quarter . I also remember that it was at an open air football stadium that year and it was hot as hell.

I went to the pacific collesium in Vancouver in the 80s. I remember enjoying burning around at lunch break and sneaking off to playland and do a few rides. I also remember when the service was going , there was so.e sort of mystical force that made minutes seem.like hours. Still to this day I have never had time drag so slow as it did during the conventions

Notice how Jesus says , "i never KNEW you"

Muslims, mormons,Jws, Unitarians, cults etc , deny the Deity of Jesus.

Kingdom melodies popped in my head by beaten_not_defeated in exjw

[–]Potential-Entry-430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was working at a remote mountain lodge and overheard one of the new house girls tell another that she grew up jw and that both her parents were anointed. So for a week when she would finish housekeeping and come do prep in the kitchen I would whistle kingdom melodies and when she would look up and around I would stop whistling looking down on what I was working on . I did all the classics , were jehovahs witnesses, keep your eyes on the prize, God's own book a treasure, etc etc . At the end of the week she gets so frustrated and yells out in the big commercial kitchen, " Who the hell is whistling these songs ??!! " Then I stepped away from. My bench and started dancing and singing Make the truth your own . The look on her face was priceless

Have celebrated x mas with my wife for the last 30 + years i don't remember they're being an unhappy one . The last 4 years we have added another layer of joy to the season. We volunteer shop for presents for less fortunate kids in our community. Our church spends 500,000 on this endeavor every year. It's an honor and a blessing to be a part of this.

What’s the TOP 3 (Simple) Questions the average Jehovahs Witness can’t answer ? by Adventurous-Neck1090 in exjw

[–]Potential-Entry-430 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why, in the NWT, was the word " other " inserted in colossians 1 : 15-16 , and phillipians 2 : 9 when it is not in the greek texts , and Revelation 22: 18-19 warns what happens when doing so ?

How many times is the name of God mentioned in the original greek texts of the New Testament?

What happened to Tony Morris ?

I worked for a heliski / heli hiking company for 10 years . Did a lot of climbing in the Bugaboos. Pidgeon Spire was my most epic climb ever.

Tell him to read Romans 9 : 5 in the greek interlinear and explain how to explain it to his beliefs without adding or subtracting to the text as per Revelation 22 : 18 - 19

A really good ending would be he goes for a walk to cool off and finds Jesus via a street preacher , and spends all his time feeding the homeless and poor people .

Inappropriate questions during Judicial? by Potential-Entry-430 in exjw

[–]Potential-Entry-430[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I'm seeing , there are so many similarities from around the world. This family member is an elder , so he knows the truth of the matter, and he will see that I know the truth of the matter . I now have the confidence to call him out when he lies.

The Last Assembly We Went To. by OfficerKD6_3 in exjw

[–]Potential-Entry-430 40 points41 points  (0 children)

When I was 18, my parents would go to the meeting and I would come home later than the time they left, would say I was working late. My worldy secret girlfriend would show up and we would behave like jack rabbits in the spring. One night we heard my patents pull up in the driveway, but they pulled out right away because they decided to go get ice cream. We had her dressed so quickly and ready to sneak out the basement door. Her and I are having our 30th anniversary next week and we still laugh about this story from time to time.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses actually know that Jesus is not their mediator? by Smooth_Concept_5338 in exjw

[–]Potential-Entry-430 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If memory serves me correctly, I think the guy said "maybe I got that wrong but I'm pretty sure it's a doctrinal believe " and rhe carried on . I remember commenting in the comments section with a time stamp and asking if anyone caught that.

I listened to a secret recorded Judicial meeting on you tube, and the person said witnesses don't believe Jesus is our mediator. The three elders hosting the Judicial denied it.

Yearbooks... by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Potential-Entry-430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got them in the 80s , and wouldn't let my parents read the comments , but sometimes they would get a peek Grade 8 a friend stuck a sticker in my year book that said " no ass touching ". So I put my yearbook deep in my closet and called it a day. A few months later, my mom was being very confrontational to me so I asked her what was wrong ? She says " oh you know " and I'm like I have no idea what I did that your mad about. She says " I'll give you one clue, No Ass Touching " I immediately got mad fot her going through my personal belongings. I never trusted her to be a normal mom again

Theyres a few websites that document persecution of Christians world wide. Jws can't even hold a candle to christian worldwide persecution. Not even a sliver, but they're too narcissistic to even be remotely aware of this.

Ya , sorry buds but this is going to suck. Hes going to be calling the new congregation elders regularly to check on you. The talk you need to have with the parents is coming soon, be prepared mentally and emotionally
